Cowboys Fans Worry About Amari Signing With Hated Rival

FRISCO – In an ironic twist, there is an army of Dallas Cowboys fans smart enough to know why a reunion with free agent Amari Cooper wouldn’t be the sweet deal that many “casuals’ think it would.

On the other hand …

That sane army doesn’t especially want to see the erratic 5-time Pro Bowler get a job with Dallas’ most hated rival.

NFL teams are looking to fill roster needs before the 2025 season begins, and for the Philadelphia Eagles, the search continues at the wide receiver position. Despite a strong 2025 NFL Draft haul, it can be argued that the Eagles still have a glaring weakness at WR3 behind Pro Bowlers A.J. Brown and DeVonta Smith.

Meanwhile, while Philly has two studs in that receivers room, Dallas has only CeeDee Lamb. And amid gossip about Dallas reuniting with Amari?

NFL.com’s Kevin Patra recently floated the idea of Philadelphia as a top landing spot for Cooper.

Patra writes that Eagles GM Howie Roseman “deserves the ‘Dynasty Patriots Treatment,’ wherein every available free agent or trade target is linked to his Eagles,” citing the team’s Super Bowl window.

Of course, around here, it’s “every available free agent or trade target is linked to Jerry Jones’ Cowboys,” but that’s another story.

Cooper, 30, is coming off his worst-ever statistical year, totaling 44 catches for 547 yards and four touchdowns while splitting time between the Cleveland Browns and Buffalo Bills.

Does the five-time Pro Bowler still carry value even after having been trade-dumped out of here in 2022?

Eagles fans remember this Cooper: In six games against the Eagles, Amari averaged 81.6 receiving yards and scored three touchdowns—including all three in a 2018 Dallas win.

Philadelphia fans can think that a low-risk, one-year deal with Cooper could offer similar upside in the passing game.

Dallas fans may or may not think the same about Cooper as a Cowboy. But there is no arguing that Amari – erratic with that infamous “shrinkage” as he can be – can still make that one play that beats you.

And for that reason, there is an army of worried Cowboys lovers who wish Amari would sign somewhere other than Philly.
